First Look at Classics Combaticon Repaints?

Definitely picking it up. Though Swindle is not going to be a choper. Swindle needs to be a land based vehicle.

I absolutely loved the Energon Combaticons figures, and the head sculpt for Bruticus Maximus is one of my all-time favourites - the new colours look sharp as well, a definite buy for me!

So this combined with the already-released E-Constructicon set and the rumoured E-Aerialbot repaint set - I guess that covers all three combiner teams released during Energon. For once I don't mind the repaints, they were all solid toys to begin with.

(Please don't be a Target-exclusive!)

If it is, then one ofus can mail ya one.

I like the colors on it, But I don't get Combaticons. Onslaught is pretty dang good, but otherweise I like the Es closer. I'll await a full picture though, and to see them in person

Mega-PASS on this.

And Blast Off should not be a tank.

Q. F. T.

Just because THEY say a copter is Swindle and a tank is Blast-Off, doesn't mean you can't swap the names for your personal reference.

I can live with Swindle as a Heli, and Blast Off as a tank... Swindle was always more about his personality than his alt-mode. I have no problem with a subtle switch of forms. Blast-Off does imply a spacecraft of sorts, but I can see the idea of "blast" tying in to a tank's cannon.

What I don't care for, personally, is their continued usage of transparent plastic for the 'extremities' of the combiner. Why not use gray or silver? Why do we continually need glowing red-orange weapons attached to our military vehicles? Bruticus would look a lot more menacing with black or steel gray hands and feet, than transparent red-orange.

Sweetness! I missed out on the Energon line completely, so this will be a nice find. When can we expect it?
